Can interest charged by private pf trust be more than what the Govt decides ?

POSTED BY roshan ON July 2, 2014 5:36 pm COMMENTS (3)

My friend’s company EPF is managed by a private trust . For FY2013/14 the Govt had announced 8.75% interest rate. My friend says that his private pf trust gave 9.5% interest rate.  Is this possible? if yes,do i have a choice to move my epf to a private trust or am i bound by the pf trust my company chooses?

    So, this means that the interest on PF should be at least the percentage decided by the Govt. 🙂

    I think you are bound by the pf trust your company chooses…..

    Even my company has a private trust and only gives interest as per the Govt. interest rate…. Not sure why your friend’s company is giving more interest…… Ask your friend to check clearly again.
